Can you go at least part of the way by bike?  My friend from Herefordshire, UK, visits me here in Brittany, France by taking his bike on the train to Plymouth, then the ferry to Roscoff, then cycling the 100 or so kilometres here along the wonderful, scenic cycleways we have in France.
Sometimes he has an overnight stop, but if he gets the overnight ferry he can do the cycling leg in a day (human-powered - not electric bike - carrying luggage - and he's in his 60s now).
